Liverpool in talks with Barcelona over move for teenage sensation Bobby Adekanye

Liverpool are in talks about a move for Barcelona teenager Bobby Adekanye.

The 16-year-old has been on loan at PSV Eindhoven and was one of five transfers to Barcelona's youth system that were banned from playing for the club in a clampdown by FIFA last summer over claims they had been signed illegally.

Born in Nigeria, Adekanye moved to Holland when he was four to live in Amsterdam with his family.

He arrived in Barcelona in 2011 after spending time with Ajax.

Now 16, he would have been able to begin playing for Barcelona in January.

Adekanye played for Holland in February earlier this year at the Under 16 UEFA development tournament
